You can do this with TrackerViz, using the "Track Combine" feature. Set it on "Track Combine", select only the child layer (the layer that is parented), and click "Execute". It should give you a new little solid with "collapsed" position keyframes. Just unparent your original layer and copy these ne...

Dang, this thing is awesome! I've already gotten completely used to just having this there at the top! Here's a little something I ran into, though, wondering if there's maybe a fix for it. I wanted to have the Glow effect on it, so I changed the script like I'm supposed to to customize. However, I ...

No, no, I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm not open to other people's workflows or anything. Sorry if it reads like that, it's not my intent.

Still, if you have a smooth desktop with a coin left and a cigarette right and you want to place a keyboard in the middle It honestly would only take, literally, three more clicks. Two CTRL-clicks to select the tracks of the coin and the cigarette, and one more click on the average function, and ba...

But since averaging tracks used also for rotation cannot in my experience make the track worse, only better, it's something I'd like to see implemented. I'd say go ahead and implement it in your version of TrackerViz, then. TrackerViz was kind of born out of my wanting a way to visually see every t...

I noticed that for example Rot Pos Sca does not take the average position but the position of the first tracker. Correct, that is how it was designed to work. The averaging tool is for averaging, the Pos Rot Scl is for creating a new layer with all 3 transforms custom selected by you, not for avera...

I think the workflow most people have adopted if they're going to use the same tracked solid in multiple precomps is to just use "Keyframes" instead of "Expression" and then just copy/paste the solid layer into whatever precomps need it. A workaround is to give the layer another name. But I thought ...
